How-to: Add a signature to outgoing Outlook Mobile emails
Windows Mobile devices aren’t great for sending emails from. We make our emails short because typing in anything longer than a sentence or two can become very time consuming and uncomfortable.
There is nothing wrong with entering in a short email, but it can look very brief, to the extent of appearing offensive to someone opening it up in a desktop email client.
It is a good idea to pad it out, or add in some useful information so that the reader has a clear idea who has sent them the email.
To make it happen:
- Tap Messaging
- Tap Menu
- Tap Options
- Tap Signatures
You can now create a signature to be sent with your emails. You can pad it out as much as you want, but it is a good idea to at least sign your name so that you don’t need to enter it in each time.
You can even add a signature to SMS/MMS messages from this window, but due to character restrictions, it probably isn’t worth doing.
Unfortunately there is no support for HTML code, though many email clients will place links as they recognise that they are an email or website address.
